Dropout Prevention, Intervention and Retrieval

Building Bridges is a dropout prevention, intervention and retrieval system. In collaboration with the Building Bridges workgroup, OSPI is required to make recommendations for the development of a K-12 dropout reduction initiative and an infrastructure for coordinating services for vulnerable youth.

The primary purpose of Building Bridges legislation ESSB 6403 is to increase the number of Washington state students who graduate from high school on time and re-engage students who have already dropped out of school. The two main components of this legislation are the Building Bridges Grant Program and the Building Bridges State-Level Workgroup.
